Hi Vicki,
Glad you enjoyed it, although I am sorry to hear you've had similar experiences--I certainly wouldn't wish that experience on anyone!
Thanks for stopping by

Re: well it seems we all have to have someone we have to endure in our lives
Kabu,
I think you're right--we've all gotten stuck with someone we'd rather not have in our lives.
Congratulations on getting rid of your 'undesirables'! Hopefully I'll be that lucky one day

Re: Sira890
Yes Wiley, I survived!
I was snoring through most of Cannonball Run, which is one of Mark's favorite films.

Re: I'm with you, sira. I hate messing with hair, makeup, etc.
FYS,
I have noticed that, and I've gotten my fair share of "oh, you'd look so nice if you just used a bit of this..."
I gave up on make-up in high school, because I wanted the extra time in the morning to sleep. And my skin is super healthy, now that I've stopped painting it on every day.
Mark, like your hubby, loves it. There's no pile of girly stuff hogging all the counter space in the bathroom. And he doesn't have to wait an hour for me to get ready.
As for the women who give us a hard time--they're just jealous that they can't look this good without their beauty products!
Thanks for reading

Re: Very funny
Azur, that sounds very familiar!
I always put a bit more effort into looking nice for business/social events. It does make a difference in the way people see you, especially if it's a group you're meeting for the first time. But on the whole, I'm quite happy to leave things be, and embrace my inner tom-boy!
Thanks for reading, and good luck with the curls--I have an iron for sale, if you're interested

Thanks Pat!
Isn't it funny that most people with straight hair want curly locks, and those with curls would kill for straightness. Personally, I'd like the curls a whole lot more if they weren't so hard to manage!

Re: Very funny!
LOL Naut!
I've got a few suggestions for places she could stick things, but finger in light socket wasn't something I'd thought of before! I'll be sure to give it a try next time I have to see her
Thanks for reading!

Re: Sira890
Justi,
Don't feel sad on my account--I'm quite happy with my hair, and the rest of me for that matter. Sometimes it's just easier to straighten, and not give her anything to pick at.

Re: You should never take that risk within closed doors .
afzal,
Who knew getting ready for dinner could be so dangerous?!? Next time, I'll be sure to primp in a safe and cautious way, in the presence of at least one licensed medical professional

Re: That'll Learn ya'
LOL Jeff!
Normally, I don't feel the need to fuss about in the bathroom--it's time consuming, and apparently quite dangerous. And for the most part, I'm happy with the way I look. And now, I'm fairly certain there won't be any more gymnastics for a long, long time!
Thanks for reading

Re: irons
Hi vogue!
She's actually very pretty (although it pains me to admit it!). Perhaps I will bring her the iron next time, if only to get it out of my house--not having it around would certainly cut down on the number of self-inflicted wounds!
Thanks for reading

I'm with you, sira. I hate messing with hair, makeup, etc.
And have you noticed that it's always the women that give us attitude? I get the snide comments behind my back about my hair being too long, too curly, and the "oh, you're such a pretty girl, why don't you do something with your face?" all from women in my life, never men. To me it's all a big waste of time. Screw the makeup, screw the hairdos. My husband loves that I'm not a fusser, and is amazed at how my skin, from years of NOT caking makeup on my skin, has perfect coloring and shading. I also have far fewer wrinkles than my friends in their twenties, who pile on the product.
Tell auntie to go hug.

Very funny
I go to lengths to straighten my hair. If I can be bothered to finish it. I remember dashing out the door in December to a party where I read out some work, and then I got talking, well innocently flirting, with an actor and then I was like, oh wish I'd finished my hair. I used to take great priding in having better dress sense and grooming than bosses at work. It always helps

Well done, I loved this. I could see you dancing and singing and all.
I have baby-fine, ultra straight hair. I've always loved the lovely full curls, what I call Mermaid locks. My daughter-in-law has naturally curly, naturally wheat blonde hair and she fights with it all the time. I second what Naut said. Tell the uncle's witch to eat cake. :)

Very funny!
However, if I were you, the next time you go there I'd
emphasize my curls and make them look like the ones in a cartoon, when someone sticks her finger in a socket! And then, if she makes a comment, tell her just that! 'Well, dear Auntie Flo, they're nice, aren't they? I stuck my finger in a socket just to look pretty for this occasion! You should try it sometime...'

This is some good writing but a sad story. Sounds like you have wonderful hair, it is yours, and wear it the way your like whenever you want. Be blessed.

irons
I don't know what your uncle's wife looks like, but perhaps, next time you visit you should take the iron along and present her with it instead of flowers. Would certainly prevent further injury to you (or not). Read you for the first time, but it won't be the last!!
